Back to the Remodel

So, remember how almost two years ago we started our remodeling upstairs addition by raising the roof over the garage? Well, after that initial push to get the roof up and our helpers left, unfortunately not much happened since then. Brian got swamped with other work (there's no escape!) and while he did a little bit here and there -- mostly on the heating system -- not much has changed.

Finally, a couple of weeks ago, Brian's brother Randy had a lull in his work and he was able to come and give us a big push! Brian helped as much as he could, and during the two weeks that Randy was here, the upstairs changed A LOT! YAY!!

They started out putting in the ceiling and some of the heating stuff in the attic space.



Then the rooms (4 bedrooms; 1 bath) were framed, wiring done, heating ducts, etc. A lot of work!




Sheetrock was started (we brought up some apartment workers to help with this job) and is not quite finished.




Finally (but unfortunately not before the below-zero temperatures hit), we got the insulation in the walls and ceiling.



I have hope that the kids might actually be in their bedrooms by summer! (Of course, now that Randy has left again, work has come to a stop while Brian catches up on other work, but I'm still hopeful!)
